•esident as the head of the College when organized. The proposed residence of the President
t the College at its iipening was also approved and the details of the arrangements left with
e Household Committee."
When the ^oard met on 6th. Month 17, I869, the triumphant minute was recorded:
he President reported subscriptions to the stock, exceeding $22,000 in Philadelphia and
ltimore and vicinities, and Edward Hoopes on behalf of himself and others guaranteed that
e full sum of $25,000 should be reliably subscribed so as to secure the conditional sub-ription
made by Friends in New York at the meeting on the 7th ultimo."
No note of rejoicing, or even of appreciative thanks, follows the bare state-nt
of this important fact; but its importance may be gorged by the minute which imraed-tely
follows, namely: "It was concluded that, when we adjourn, we adjourn to meet at the
liege tomorrow at 3 l/2 P.M. at which time the subject of opening the College & preparatory
hool shall be considered.'L
The closing minute also gives a hint of some of the natural elation which must
re inspired the Managers on safely passing the crisis. It too is very brief, and is as

Such are the brief minutes recording the transactions of this path-making
